Juvéderm is a cosmetic filler that is administered through injections. It’s a popular choice for enhancing facial contours and minimizing signs of aging. Approved by the FDA in 2006, Juvéderm is primarily applied to the cheeks, lips and mouth area. At ENT Physicians, our specialists will partner with you to determine if this filler can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
What Is Juvéderm Made Of?
The main component of Juvéderm is hyaluronic acid, naturally produced in the body and commonly found in the eyes, joints and skin. It helps the skin stay flexible, aids in wound healing, maintains body moisture and facilitates smooth joint movement.
What Types of Juvéderm Fillers Are Available?
Juvéderm XC
This is ideal for treating wrinkles and folds and enhancing the lips.
Juvéderm Voluma XC
This helps restore volume to your cheeks by filling and lifting the skin in the cheekbone area, creating natural contour and volume.
What Can I Expect During the Procedure?
Your provider will use a needle to inject Juvéderm under the skin, followed by a gentle massage to evenly distribute the filler. The process usually takes between 15 minutes to an hour, with instant results.
Potential side effects could be bruising, redness, tenderness and numbness, which typically subside within a few days. Serious complications like facial bumps are very rare but can occur. Treatment should be avoided by those with severe allergies.
It’s important to have Juvéderm administered by a certified and experienced aesthetic physician for the best results. Our team is here to help you understand this procedure and decide whether it is the right choice for you.
